Mersal is an SMS/OTP API Wrapper for textbelt (http://textbelt.com) public API,
that is built for developers who just want to send and receive SMS in nim.
So what does it provide:
- Send sms to any international mobile number using the standard number way +CCMobile
- Track the delivery of any sms sent
- Send Otp to any mobile number same like sending message
- Make your own message content instead of default
Your verification code is $OTP - verify the otp
- check your credit balance
Is it free ?
Texetbelt provide you with free key textbelt to be able to send one free message a day, but you can purchase an sms package from here - https://textbelt.com/purchase/?generateKey=1 , you will need to use a key with credit.
